I don't remember Bionic Commando or Battletoads, but the other 3 didn't seem so bad..

Ok, they kindof had a point with Contra minus "the code", but me & my friends all ended up beating MT Punch out.. I recall having a harder time with Bald Bull than Tyson.
 
Are you freakin' kidding me? The list looks more like this:

1. Ghosts 'n Goblins
.
.

2. Bionic Commando
3. Paperboy
4. Contra
5. Mike Tyson's Punch Out
6. Battletoads


PaperBoy, Contra and Mike Tyson's Punch Out weren't really that hard IMO.
 
Ahhhh I didn't think Contra was that tough even without the code, Contra 2 maybe. Bionic Commando was hard, I always was terrible at punchout. What about the original Metal Gear, Blaster Master, Castlevania, Karnov, or Rygar to name a few that were very tough. I guess you could probably have a whole list of games also that were so bad that they were almost impossible to complete.

Contra was easy as pie. Tyson's Punch Out wasn't too bad either. Mega Man 3 was pretty hard.

Now Contra Shattered Soldier was really hard.

MFing medusa heads!!! :|
Battletoads should be closer to the top of the list... I think I only made it past the jet bike stage once. And yes, Ghosts'n'Goblins should be on there too.
 
Battletoads was pretty damn difficult IMO. I also thought Ninja Gaiden was much harder than Punch Out or Paperboy and it's not even on the list.

Ninja Gaiden was easy. Battletoad was nearly impossible. It had to be a miracle to pass the hover jet stage.
 
WTF kind of a shitty list is that?

TMNT? Strider? A lot of people had trouble with Top Gun...not me. 🙂

BC was an easy game.
 
Oh yeah, Top Gun.. I forgot about that one.. I could only get through like 3 stages.. Landing on the carrier was a #$*($.

What about TC Surf Designs.. I remember that one as being a PITA
 
The first Superman game was pretty hard too... definitely in large part due to it's high level of sucking ass. That was the game that taught me the perils of buying licensed games.
 
No Ghost&Goblins, or any Megamans? Bah.

MTP wasnt hart, just as long as you figured out the trick to each character.

QFMFT. Ghosts n Goblins & Super Ghouls n Ghosts IMO.
 
Dang, I had bionic commando and beat it on many occasions. I don't remember it being that hard but who knows, maybe I was a super gamer then. Too bad the mad skills have left me...
